The Power of Heartfulness

Heartfulness is True Mindfulness

It is mindfulness led from the Heart – bringing compassionate loving kindness to all we do, think and say

The principle of Heartfulness forms the foundation of Releasing and Self-inquiry, without which they would be mere mechanical techniques.

Watch the videos below to see and hear what Jon Kabat-Zinn (who brought mindfulness-Heartfulness to the attention of the world) has to say about the absolute importance of “Heartfulness”.

Heartfulness is the spirit of acceptance, compassion, kindness and gratitude. These are the essential ingredients without which mindfulness (which simply means “awareness”) would lose it’s power if it were perceived, incorrectly, as nothing more than another cognitive mental technique:

Heartfulness implicitly includes all the principles of mindfulness

The popular term “Mindfulness” is simply another name for Heartful awareness; rather like the way Hoover is a commonly substituted name for vacuum cleaner.

Heartfulness is a practice that brings the clarity of awareness to every facet of our lives – our physical sensations, emotions and thoughts – to the way we go about our work and to the quality of our personal and professional relationships.

And, most importantly, true awareness is the practice of unveiling our naturalSelf, the essence of who and what we truly are.

As such, what I call Heartfulness leads to a level of blissful peace that is worth more than all the financial wealth in the whole world.

By becoming more aware of your thoughts you place yourself in the position of choice: to act from your thoughts, or to act from your Heart intuition, the feeling of Being.

One choice leads to increasing stress, the other to increasing freedom, peace and joy.

If you are willing to devote some time to this simple practice, Heartfulness can impart a profound purpose and meaning to our lives.

Btw: The original oriental words for “heart” and “mind” are the same. They both point to “Awareness”. Watch the videos below in which Jon Kabat-Zinn, who brought the practice of mindfulness to the attention of the world, explains …

Heartfulness brings numerous life-enhancing benefits

It reduces stress at work and at home

It improves all facets of our relationships

It enhances our creative imagination

It increases the clarity of logical and conceptual thinking

It has positive effects on our physical, emotional and mental health and well-being

It gives our lives an inherent sense of purpose and meaning

It unveils the reality of who we truly are

It’s enjoyable … and it’s fun! 🙂

From my direct experience I can testify that we do not have to suffer, do not have to live with pain – even when it’s triggered by an extremely challenging life event such as divorce or death.

My experience is that mental angst and emotional pain can be completely healed by the power of awareness.

The power of awareness is like a universal solvent that dissolves even the most seemingly intractable and deeply felt pain.

This disarmingly simple process can heal the deepest emotional wounds. It can bring clarity to your life choices. And it can bring increasing joy to all your relationships.
